Kai always gets me right. I drive a 93 Mazda Miata and came for a starter replacement, he rolled the car to the shop by himself and kept the old starter for me to return without even asking. These guys are the goats, they're busy for a reason. Come here for fair pricing and good work.

I've been taking my cars to Rising Sun for about 4 years now. They've worked on my 2016 Ford Focus ST and my 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5. They always do great work, are reasonably priced and have great staff!
